can someone explain to me the reason blizzard would deny an organization from being able to charge an entrance fee?

does this hold for all blizzard games? all games in general? does this hold at all gaming tourneys too?

how much money does a ticket cost?
cause even from a business perspective, it makes no sense to hold it in such a tiny venue when they should easily be able to attract many many more fans.

The atmosphere in the OSL quarter finals will probably be more intense than this final.

Apart from the money, I can't imagine the players being too excited about this. "Give me my cheque kthx bye".

OSL/MSL isnt really about the money, its about the title.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Maybe this could be a blessing in disguise?

If MSL folds, could GOMTV fill it's place? Wasn't the main reason for KESPA not liking GOM was the fact that it forced the players to play too many games?

As many have said, small venue for $$ problems is understandable.

Removing players from crowd is ridiculous.

Umm .... the title is awesome and so is 20k or 15k or 30k or 10k or whatever it is this year, jaedong only makes 100k a year, 20k would be a fifth of his yearly salary .... for a couple weeks of training and 2 hours MAX of gameplay ....

but yes the title is far sexier 'theoretically'

That's so odd... wouldn't all the thousands of fans from each player bring in way more revenue than a bigger place costs??

Direct salary is estimated at over $110k (though in the ballpark), toss in endorsements/ads and its up there. I wasn't saying the money is meaningless, but between JD and Flash (both S-class players making bank), the MSL championship isn't about the cash.

not really a huge deal to me and most people here considering we`ll all be watching on a stream anyways. ppl in korea can still watch the finals on tv, i watched the stanley cup finals on tv and i didn`t rage.

besides, players say they play better at practice so hopefully a less stressful environment will allow them to play at an even higher caliber, and maybe jaedong will have a chance.

wow what a fucked up move... big part of the epic finals atmosphere comes from the background hype from a huge crowd... In fact, Id go as far as saying we remember many of the boxer finals as epic partly because he was able to draw such large audiences. I remember Boxer vs Yellow and the audience was impressive. With the players seperated and a measly 1000 spectators, I dont expect much epic feeling to be created from the crowd, which is a bloody shame for the most anticipated finals in a cpl years
